- Comment on Palworld is now available in Early Access on Steam (and Gamepass, I believe) 9 months ago:
That’s about how well it fits in. You produce and find guns and can equip yourself and the pals with certain weapons. Modern firearms in a generic fantasy setting. It’s like a meme game that has too much production budget.

Your phone does the same thing just without communicating it. Samsung phones let you change the percentage of the battery is “100%” charged.
- Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox 11 months ago:
When Firefox announced that a ton of their add-ons/extensions were coming to the mobile app, it got me to switch from chrome after almost 15 years.
- Comment on Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? 1 year ago:
Any RPG with dialogue and choices. Bonus points for custom characters or male/female options.
Before my girlfriend got into games, I would often play a new game with her and ask her to design the create-a-character and ask for her input on dialogue choices. Sometimes we would take turns reading aloud in game text and documents.
She eventually bought herself a switch and blasted out 500 hours of animal crossing during the pandemic lockdown and now she is all in on games.
- Comment on How reliable are EV chargers? 1 year ago:
As a Tesla owner of 5 years with a cross country road trip in the car, Teslas charging has never failed me. It’s rare to encounter a charging stall not working, but every location has multiple chargers and they repair stalls quickly.
Almost every location I’ve been to has at least 8 stalls if not more. The navigation in the car also keeps track of stalls in use, electricity prices, expected wait time and if any stalls are not working.
- Comment on Is "True Detective" season 2 bad, or just bad compared to season 1? 1 year ago:
It has individual good moments but I think it’s problem is that it tried to tackle too many plot lines all at once without all of them feeling totally connected.
If it was just about the vinci corruption or just about Vince Vaughns mob, or just about the dealings with the girls being taken to the parties, it would have been a much stronger show. Or just drop one of the storylines and find stronger connections between them. The ensemble cast is good, the forced romance was pretty bad.
The biggest problem in my opinion, and echoed by many others, is that every main character is trying to be Rust. Extremely smart, depressed and just way too philosophical about everything. There was no straight man to cut through the highbrow musings, so every character felt majorly up their own ass. Woody harrelsons character was an important grounding point.
Season 3 goes a different direction and is much stronger for it. It feels closer to season 1 but different enough so it doesn’t feel like it’s retreading old ground.

I am working on my bachelor’s degree in computer networking and I still find Lemmy a pain in the ass to search sometimes.
Communities are too small, fractured and not enough people post. 1% rule and all that

I’m probably wrong but I think because it takes a lot more user effort to navigate Lemmy and find your communities, and those communities can be spread across many instances.
It’s just easier for those that are interested in the community around those interests to use something like reddit or a specific forum site.
Lemmy is mostly tech dorks, which isn’t a bad thing but that leads to the tech and programming communities dominating the feeds. Also I think people who have been using Lemmy for a while vastly overestimate the appeal of the platform and also tech literacy of the general population. It can feel intimidating and uninviting.

I picked up 2 copies of Helldivers for me and my partner during the steam sale. Game is great fun and runs smoothly on steam deck. Totally worth $5.
